James Tobin <[log in to unmask]> continues the discussion about conductor Horst Stein: >I should look this up, to be sure, but I believe he was Sibelius' >son-in-law. The recording is a good one. There a longish paragraph about him at: http://www.greatconductors.com/english/stein (original in German) He's been active conducting major German and Swiss opera companies and orchestras since the early 50s. Has done Parsifal and a Ring at Bayreuth in 1969/70. Nothing there about his personal background, though. Terry L Newstrom [log in to unmask]
